Journeying through the modern world with ancient ways.

My Kemetic Inspirational

Formerly called “devotionals” I felt I was overdue for a name change. The Ancient Egyptians didn’t have devotionals because they didn’t have a religious text that proscribed or condoned behaviors. In other words, they didn’t have a book or two to tell them how the gods wanted them to behave.

Even though the Ancient Egyptians didn’t have much when it came to accessible texts on personal conduct contemporary Kemeticists have extrapolated from various texts, including the 42 Negative Confessions. This is just my personal take on some of the passages and may or may not pull from academic sources. In other words, this is just my interpretation of things. Take it or leave it.

The 42 Negative Confessions

All translations of the negative confessions comes from R.O. Faulkner’s Book of the Dead from Barnes and Noble publishing (hey, don’t judge me) and this document.
